Hi,

I'm in senior this year and i'd like to get into 3d printing as they have a printer at the school. I have the software aswell just not the experience. Any tips for tutorial videos, mistakes to look out for?

Thanks! :)

What could be the issue on this print. Could it be the bed temperature which was at 90 degrees..print temp 230.

I got a present of wood filament (nice) and all I read says use a larger nozzle. I usually use .04 so am thinking .05 or .06 as I have these. If I do use a larger nozzle do I need to adjust for that in the slicer or will my normal settings do, just change the nozzle.

I'm not considering the other slicer settings, not yet. I've not tested it so will presume it'll be fine until it's not, I'll do a temp tower once I decide this nozzle thing.

Thanks 👍

I am a serial hobbyist and have a myriad of hobbies that spark my interest. I can sew today, 3d print tomorrow, build a cabinet, in the garden, make a quilt, I love it all.

I just got the new A1 mini and I love it . I love having a reliable printer that for the most part just works. What I don’t love is buying huge rolls of filament that I don’t use all of it. Why don’t more filament manufacturers sell filament in 500g or even 250 rolls. I understand that manufacturing is easier when you have more constant products, but the landscape only being 1kg rolls is not cool.

Here are 4 main reason why I think the industry should have more options for filament sizes: 1. Not everyone needs 1kg of filament. 2. 1kg rolls can take up a lot of space. 3. Once you open a roll, it starts to expire. 4. Users could be inclined to by more filament to experience t with colors and types if they came in smaller rolls.

I want to get 4 or 5 half rolls for half the price of a full roll. Is that too much to ask?

I'm new to 3D printing. Just got my first printer last week and I've been having a great time with it. I keep wondering something though. I've watched a million videos and become pretty familiar with all the settings that matter. I think.

I say that because I've had a couple of failures and then made adjustments that I thought would help and with just one or two tweaks the next print would come out great. A few days later I went to reprint a couple things and they came out great again except that I hadn't made the changes that I made after the first failure.

I guess I shouldn't stress that about this kind of thing and just address each issue as it comes. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I have been trying to fix this problem but the x axis mount just wont fit to the 2040 aluminum rail. Is it just the mount is not fit for the slider or am I just doing something wrong? Thanks for the replies

Hello everyone. I have a general question regarding my resin prints. I have kind a fitting problem and I am not sure if this is caused do to curing my resin prints . Also it seems during the curing process some parts of my minis start to bend, that should be straight lines like swords for example. Has somebody had similar experiences and could give me an advice how to prevent the bending of my miniature? Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I received my first printer 3D for my birthday, and after 2 weeks of discovery, I noticed that Moonraker isn't installed. I use Orca and there is a case "log files" with moonraker, but when I clic, nothing happens.

Could you take a minute and explain me how to solve this problem.

Thank's for your help and have a nice day.

I had bad looking walls until now, and always attributed them to z wobble. After switching to "outer wall first", I printed the finest looking walls I've ever made.

So I just took a look at my bed mesh for the first time as of lately I've been having some errors that seem like bed adhesion/nozzle dragging issues with my k1 Max. Is this something that needs to be fixed or would you say it's within tolerance.?

Hi! I finally signed up to sell some stuff at a market, and I am wondering if you guys have any tips? As far as I can see, there is not any one else at the market that are selling 3D prints. How much should I have of each product? I have bought licenses at Patreon, Thangs and Etsy. What colour cloth should I have on the table?

Hi everyone,

On the first week of owning my Kingroon KLP1, which despite this I love, the machine had a bug and hit the bed with the nozzle ruining the be PEI coating and bending the hotend. Now, Kingroon support has kindly sending me a replacement but for a next time, I'll have to order it myself. Being in Switzerland, every time I order something from abroad, I have to pay around 30 € in taxes. Their hotend kit is plenty affordable but with added taxes it becomes a bit of a pain.

To avoid that and in preparation for future mishaps, is there a hot end upgrade that I could get, even if it means discarding let's say the heatsink since the heatsink is part of the tool head in the KLP1 and paying a bit more than the 45 € that I would pay for the Kingroon part. I'm also told they accept E3D V6 nozzles and will like to confirm that too, if possible.

My thanks!

I've not yet made the step to multi material printing and want to print an emblem where i want to fill in some parts with something that adds color.

Looking for different ways to do this and any experiences with the techniques.

TIA!

Hi All,

Facing an interesting one where when printing this model as you can see, the slicer chooses to print the first layer in different portions and then come back around and 'colour in' the remaining bits at the end.

Now the bottom face of this needs to be fairly perfect, and with it doing it in this fashion I find you can often see this pattern on the print where previous parts have cooled already.

Is there any setting which can force it just to do this in one swoop / linear / left to right / whatever I'm trying to describe?

For clarity, this is not a 'my first layer is rubbish' post, mine are pretty good, just the ordering it lays down for this particular model is the issue.

Cheers!

Hi,

I work in a school and we have an Ender 3 printer installed. The room is relatively small, so we're looking into additional ventilation. We've got it an enclosure with a hose.

I'm looking at the Philips 600 Series (AC0650/20) as something we could place at the end of that hose. It's a HEPA filter but only costs £100.

Does this sound sufficient for the level of micro-plastics?

Cheers!

I am looking for a 3D-printed funnel that uses a servo to dispense pills one at a time.
